That's, like, one of the big reasons humans have sex precisely BECAUSE you're a little sleepy after. Do these people even know what biology is? Have they even heard the word said once in their entire lives!? AM I ACTUALLY LOSING MY MIND!!!??? IS THIS REAL? IS ANY OF THIS REAL...!!???!!?!!?
That’s just taking continuous birth control. I’m only doing that cuz it helps my mood and focus- wait. 😂😭 Seriously though, it just makes my ADHD symptoms worse to have periods/placebo weeks.

Lukewarm take: I wish companies would stop using "Ingredients you cant pronounce" as a talking point. That doesn't mean anything besides "big word hard". You can look up ingredients online to find out what they are without being able to say them. Even natural components can have complicated sciencey names.
I understand that but it's generally just used as a joke to say "This has bad/useless ingredients in it". It's like when we say someone is dumb as a rock, obviously rocks don't have measurable intellegence but it's still something we use to tie one thing to another. The phrase "ingredients you can't even pronounce" is used to mean the idea that something is snake oil.
Yes!! Take sodium bicarbonate as an example. Sounds scary right? What if I told you it’s in almost every bread product at the store? That’s right. It’s baking soda!
"m i l k retention" is the weirdest amalgam of placebo and sexual frustration as a motivator. its very similar to emotionally having weight just strapped to you, you sure look strong because youre pushing your body but then these guys also talk about the crash, i mean think about after a hard workout you dont get back up and do another workout. so of course these guys are mentally exhausted after forgoing sexual satisfaction for a long time then having it, you just finished your workout?? except there are no gains unless you didnt know how to tell yourself no????? sorry ted talk lol but it literally creates pain no gain

They're quoting Pythagoras. As if he didn't think beans were essentially the same as fetuses. Not really the best source on human anatomy. Like the Greeks were good at math, but oh my god, there were only like five who you should listen to about biology, the main ones not even specializing in physiology but rather botony (Shout out to Theophrastus and Dioscorides). And so to answer your question Ethan, he knows nothing. In fact if Pythagoras tells you something about biology you should toss it out the window and just assume it's wrong.
Like, he's right in his very-specific branch of knowledge. A bean to a bean.... plant, is the same as a fetus or egg/sperm to a human, but not in any sort of deeper analysis
As a Greek person who is very into philosophy, I can confirm this is true. Pythagoras was a mathematician, he had no right getting involved with biology. However what he said was said like thousands years ago so it’s natural for many sciences to not have been fully mastered yet. So people just went around assuming stuff. To conclude, being a dude in 2022 and having access to any source of knowledge you want and like not have to work hard for it you just have to do a proper research, and then still believing that bullshit, then that is unacceptable and that’s on them.

This subreddit is literally a case study on psychosomatic effects. Also someone should tell these dudes that nutting is a way to slightly reduce your risk of prostate cancer.
i once hooked up with a guy and found out after that he was into semen retention. he was also anti-vax. suffice to say i never hooked up with anyone i knew so little about beforehand ever again
It's like the only way they can practice a healthy thing (not allowing sex to be the only driving force in your life) is in an unhealthy and completely batshit way (semen retention as a lifestyle). Do these guys know you can just choose to work on those areas of your life, and still be receptive if someone actually likes you. You *can* control your sexual desires and have a healthy balance, it doesn't have to be that extreme. Trust yourself a bit, and if you can't trust yourself, you may want to talk to someone about that and get some support.
This is exactly how I was thinking it sounded more like people with addictions in a support group trying to convince themselves that their lives are better now so they don't relapse

Right. The idea of men getting actual mental help is just so demonized that they turn to Reddit cults which probably makes it worse. These people guilt trip unsuspecting fools and then make fun of them when they mess up
Most of them probably had porn addiction rather than a sex one. They don't exude the energy of people who used to have sex regularly. The subreddit is full of guys saying that are just now, after completely abstaining, working up the courage to talk to women. This is very close to being an incel subreddit, to be honest, but, instead of blaming everything on women, they found ejaculating to be the bigger problem. Just as toxic, simply in a different way.

I've been celibate for 5 years. Easy and not a big deal. I never get why asexual people talk about sex so often. Its not even about you because you're not a part of it. Just go home
Uhmmmm where did that come from? 😅 How many ace people have you met that are super opinionated about sex??? Because every ace friend i have talks about sex as much or less than my sexually active friends.....
@@whatever3145 My dude you just don't understand sexuality. Ace people can have sex, they just feel little to no sexual attraction to any gender. Let's say you're straight, you would feel no attraction to the same gender. That's how it is for ace people, except they don't feel it for anyone. Asexuality and abstinence are in no way related.
hit the nail on the head with the comparison to e.d. and their communities!!! i really wouldnt be surprised if semen retention were actually an alternative to forming e.d. for a lot of these guys, both because of how we as a society fail to recognize men as susceptible to them, and as a more covert way for them to find the "success" that people search for in e.d. i hope theyll be able to find help and health in better ways for them
it makes sense considering most of them workout. If they're doing retention, they're most likely doing other forms of self harm and have a form of ED without realizing it.
oh man, comparing this concept to eating disorders is actually such a good metaphor. restricting or over-indulging (aka unsafe sex) as a way of self-punishment. wild !
I always wonder, since I got a vasectomy is this going to basically make me fucking superman? Am I the ultimate retainer now? I have so many questions.
i loved this video!!! as a complete side note, i would like to say that asexual people can have sex & want to have sex for a variety of reasons, they simply do not experience sexual attraction (i am on the asexual spectrum) that said, some asexual people still do not want to have sex.
it’s a super common misunderstanding- i hope this helps some people understand this nuanced topic better! i hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful day/evening/night :)
yep, I'm ace and have had sex at least twice. basically, I have sex my wife when she is really wanting that type of connection, but I never initiate it.
@@whatever3145 Think of it like this. What's your least favourite genre of movie? For me, it's westerns. They bore me to tears. There have been maybe two that I've liked ever, and I'd still rather watch anything else. When a new western releases in theaters, I don't care. Even if all my friends are gung-ho about it, I say, "Eh, have fun, I think I'll sit this one out. Thanks tho!" And they have a great time, telling me about how cool the movie was. And I'm glad they had a good time, but I don't feel like I missed out still. But let's say I got a new partner who really loved westerns. Like a lot. This is where it can get dicey, and different people will come to different solutions. Maybe you decided to go see the movie in theaters because it makes your significant other happy, and you love seeing them happy. Maybe they head to the theater alone. Or maybe you tell them they can go with a friend, so long as they're back by midnight. Or maybe your partner decides it's not that big a deal, and they can live without westerns. It really depends on the couple and what makes them happiest. You don't have to enjoy or feel the desire to watch a genre of film you hate in order to go see it. You can just go if you want. In a less metaphorical explanation, the plumbing still works. If an Ace is not sex-repulsed or sex-averse, then there are reasons they may choose to have sex anyway. Not the least of which, of course, is for procreation. Some Aces still want biological kids. But some might choose to have sex for numerous other reasons as well. Asexuality isn't what you do (or don't do, as it were), but how you feel about it. Just like celibacy isn't the same as asexuality, asexual doesn't have to equal celibate.
@@whatever3145 what they mean is that asexual people aren’t sexually attracted to others. when they experience love they don’t feel any sexual desires. however, they might choose to have sex with someone even though they’re not sexually attracted to the person. for comparison, you might not be hungry but choose to eat anyways.
Thank you for that comparison to EDs! All of those posts about feeling amazing when retaining/ feeling like shit when they dont were nearly word for word on the ones I used to see for fasting. Just because something feels better or makes you more productive doesn't mean it's good! Brains are silly little guys who are easily tricked
Winning as a man at semen retention because I simply do not have semen. I’m trans 8) But this whole cult of semen is odd and unhealthy. I’m certain some people stand to benefit to masturbating less or having less sex, but definitely not all or most of them. To me this seems like a way to guarantee a panic attack when you do end up “regressing” and thus confirming your beliefs and sinking deeper into unhealthy behaviour. This seemed like a such a harmless if very odd at first glance but it’s so not! also cum funny!!
"Oh, I became smarter than my 12 year old self in nearly 5 years of time. It must be due to X and not due to how human growth works." - Every person in those threads.
i saw the title and thought "ah this is probably about r/neverbrokeabone where people celebrate their strong strong bones and give credit to milk for making their bones so sturdy" and now i wish i was right
Do they not understand that we learned stuff in the years between Pythagoras and now? "I only treat diseases with humor adjustments; if you'll excuse me, it is time for my bloodletting."
i literally just made cereal with expired milk and i was too scared to seem like i'm wasting so i put the frosted flakes in a plastic bag, poured the milk down the sink, and put the bag in the trash😀
also i feel like the thing these guys experience is that they are super tense and stressed out, and climax helps you to relax. you often don't realize how tired you are until you relax (you feel the switch from cortisol hormone being dominant to like oxytocin). you don't need to climax, masturbate or have sex to make oxytocin of course, like im not saying that ace people can't relax ever. it just seems to me that the guys that do this kind of stuff, already have a toxic lifestyle otherwise to feel so tense and alert all the time. they bottle up their feelings to the highest degree, and might very well collapse into intense burnout if they don't watch out. im no doctor but it seems pretty obvious to me.
I'm really starting to think all of these weirdos on the internet are just evolution's way of telling us that humans' time on earth is ending. as it should tbh. edit: just wanted to say I really appreciate ethans openness and insight about EDs from a male perspective, I know we're getting better at talking about mental health in general but I often feel like men/male-presenting/identifying people do get left out of the ED conversation quite a bit and I feel that representation is very much necessary.
Evolution has no opinions or goals, it just happens. But also, we've had weird groups like this basically forever (look into Pythagoras as mentioned in the video, or better yet, don't look into him and his cult).
Most of the time these guys just don't have a set routine. They'd literally get the same effect from remembering to brush their teeth before bed every night or watering a plant every day.
Interesting point, hadn't quite thought of it like that before. But one little counterpoint: I have ADHD and maintaining a consistent daily routine is very difficult. (Somewhat tangential issue but y'know 🤷♀️)
in the beginning of the video i thought men who practice semen retention who be more empathetic to women who are never able to finish with bad partners but it went in the exact opposite direction so-
I found myself laughing out loud several times in this video! I love how genuine your sense of humor comes across and the personality you put in all your videos. Keep it up!
These guys are unironically Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove? "Women uh... women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake. But I... I do deny them my essence."
*tw ED* YES this is exactly what my eating disorder used to be like, turning a necessary and normal human urge into something shameful, and basing my self-worth on how long I could abstain from food.
That parallel to eating disorders was at the back of my mind for the whole video, I just didn't know if it was too far fetched, until you said it yourself. But their conversations sound exactly like 2015 Tumblr conversations/posts. On Tumblr (and ed text groups) , there were also always people taking the role of a lowkey cult leader, encouraging everyone and berating people when they did something "wrong".
I gotta be honest, I’m an frequent and avid sex enjoyer. That being said, I think no fap is pretty cringe. So is semen retention. Ball pain is big pain. Why don’t they just try having sex?? Lol wtf??
Didn’t Pythagoras also think that beans would impregnate you and literally died when some dudes chased him bc he surrendered himself rather than running through a bean field

I've been celibate for 5 years. Easy and not a big deal. I never get why asexual people talk about sex so often. Its not even about you because you're not a part of it. Just go home
Uhmmmm where did that come from? 😅 How many ace people have you met that are super opinionated about sex??? Because every ace friend i have talks about sex as much or less than my sexually active friends.....
@@whatever3145 My dude you just don't understand sexuality. Ace people can have sex, they just feel little to no sexual attraction to any gender. Let's say you're straight, you would feel no attraction to the same gender. That's how it is for ace people, except they don't feel it for anyone.
Asexuality and abstinence are in no way related.
@@whatever3145 I feel like a lot of ace people… don’t… talk about sex. It’s just not that interesting to a lot of us so that’s kind of our whole deal.
hit the nail on the head with the comparison to e.d. and their communities!!! i really wouldnt be surprised if semen retention were actually an alternative to forming e.d. for a lot of these guys, both because of how we as a society fail to recognize men as susceptible to them, and as a more covert way for them to find the "success" that people search for in e.d. i hope theyll be able to find help and health in better ways for them
it makes sense considering most of them workout. If they're doing retention, they're most likely doing other forms of self harm and have a form of ED without realizing it.
,,,is that johnny
dear god why did I believe this was actually about milk
100% placebo effect lmao, they just think they’re better than everyone now, which is why they feel good lol
"It's like my feelings were bottled up and I needed to release them"
-----------
I wonder what other things you could apply that to
Yeah i’m gonna be real here, this sounds like a kink connected to processing guilt and anxiety. These guys need therapy and/or a good dom.
they’ve never made a woman finish
oh man, comparing this concept to eating disorders is actually such a good metaphor. restricting or over-indulging (aka unsafe sex) as a way of self-punishment. wild !
I always wonder, since I got a vasectomy is this going to basically make me fucking superman? Am I the ultimate retainer now? I have so many questions.
You should go ask them
Don't let anyone find out, you're too powerful and they will try anything to stop you
I got the notification and had to click as fast as I could as soon as I read the title. I finally found my people.
Ayo?
i loved this video!!! as a complete side note, i would like to say that asexual people can have sex & want to have sex for a variety of reasons, they simply do not experience sexual attraction (i am on the asexual spectrum) that said, some asexual people still do not want to have sex.
it’s a super common misunderstanding- i hope this helps some people understand this nuanced topic better! i hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful day/evening/night :)
yep, I'm ace and have had sex at least twice. basically, I have sex my wife when she is really wanting that type of connection, but I never initiate it.
Lol no. That doesn't make sense. Like at all
@@whatever3145 Think of it like this. What's your least favourite genre of movie? For me, it's westerns. They bore me to tears. There have been maybe two that I've liked ever, and I'd still rather watch anything else. When a new western releases in theaters, I don't care. Even if all my friends are gung-ho about it, I say, "Eh, have fun, I think I'll sit this one out. Thanks tho!" And they have a great time, telling me about how cool the movie was. And I'm glad they had a good time, but I don't feel like I missed out still.
But let's say I got a new partner who really loved westerns. Like a lot. This is where it can get dicey, and different people will come to different solutions. Maybe you decided to go see the movie in theaters because it makes your significant other happy, and you love seeing them happy. Maybe they head to the theater alone. Or maybe you tell them they can go with a friend, so long as they're back by midnight. Or maybe your partner decides it's not that big a deal, and they can live without westerns. It really depends on the couple and what makes them happiest.
You don't have to enjoy or feel the desire to watch a genre of film you hate in order to go see it. You can just go if you want.
In a less metaphorical explanation, the plumbing still works. If an Ace is not sex-repulsed or sex-averse, then there are reasons they may choose to have sex anyway. Not the least of which, of course, is for procreation. Some Aces still want biological kids. But some might choose to have sex for numerous other reasons as well. Asexuality isn't what you do (or don't do, as it were), but how you feel about it. Just like celibacy isn't the same as asexuality, asexual doesn't have to equal celibate.
@@whatever3145 what they mean is that asexual people aren’t sexually attracted to others. when they experience love they don’t feel any sexual desires. however, they might choose to have sex with someone even though they’re not sexually attracted to the person. for comparison, you might not be hungry but choose to eat anyways.
The fact I thought this was about an actual milk subreddit 💀
I thought it was going to be about an ironic sub reddit about worshipping milk. I am now instead in bewilderment of another unhealthy viewing of sex.
Ah yes, Milk. That's always what that said.
Love that one that’s like “orgasm made me tired and foggy.” Like uh…. that’s literally what happens for everyone?
Riiiight 😅
Isn’t there even a term for it?
@@astoldbynickgerr there’s a thing called post-nut clarity? Is that what you’re thinking of?
Thank you for that comparison to EDs! All of those posts about feeling amazing when retaining/ feeling like shit when they dont were nearly word for word on the ones I used to see for fasting. Just because something feels better or makes you more productive doesn't mean it's good! Brains are silly little guys who are easily tricked
Winning as a man at semen retention because I simply do not have semen. I’m trans 8)
But this whole cult of semen is odd and unhealthy. I’m certain some people stand to benefit to masturbating less or having less sex, but definitely not all or most of them. To me this seems like a way to guarantee a panic attack when you do end up “regressing” and thus confirming your beliefs and sinking deeper into unhealthy behaviour. This seemed like a such a harmless if very odd at first glance but it’s so not!
also cum funny!!
good point, also trans rights :)
"Oh, I became smarter than my 12 year old self in nearly 5 years of time. It must be due to X and not due to how human growth works." - Every person in those threads.
Yknow I thought at first that this was about *drinking* “milk”. this didn’t feel as bad after that
i saw the title and thought "ah this is probably about r/neverbrokeabone where people celebrate their strong strong bones and give credit to milk for making their bones so sturdy" and now i wish i was right
Do they not understand that we learned stuff in the years between Pythagoras and now? "I only treat diseases with humor adjustments; if you'll excuse me, it is time for my bloodletting."
i literally just made cereal with expired milk and i was too scared to seem like i'm wasting so i put the frosted flakes in a plastic bag, poured the milk down the sink, and put the bag in the trash😀
wrong milk omfg 😭
This is so funny
i’m so sorry
Guess you can call them edgelords 😏
also i feel like the thing these guys experience is that they are super tense and stressed out, and climax helps you to relax. you often don't realize how tired you are until you relax (you feel the switch from cortisol hormone being dominant to like oxytocin). you don't need to climax, masturbate or have sex to make oxytocin of course, like im not saying that ace people can't relax ever. it just seems to me that the guys that do this kind of stuff, already have a toxic lifestyle otherwise to feel so tense and alert all the time. they bottle up their feelings to the highest degree, and might very well collapse into intense burnout if they don't watch out. im no doctor but it seems pretty obvious to me.
That whole subreddit is basically my old church without the benefits that this subreddit gives
this genuinely was NOT what i was expecting when i clicked on this video HELP
I'm really starting to think all of these weirdos on the internet are just evolution's way of telling us that humans' time on earth is ending. as it should tbh.
edit: just wanted to say I really appreciate ethans openness and insight about EDs from a male perspective, I know we're getting better at talking about mental health in general but I often feel like men/male-presenting/identifying people do get left out of the ED conversation quite a bit and I feel that representation is very much necessary.
It really does feel this way. Though I wonder if it’s always been this way?
Evolution has no opinions or goals, it just happens. But also, we've had weird groups like this basically forever (look into Pythagoras as mentioned in the video, or better yet, don't look into him and his cult).
I’m a pan romantic and I’m definitely only doing this for the gains and the iq😎
Most of the time these guys just don't have a set routine. They'd literally get the same effect from remembering to brush their teeth before bed every night or watering a plant every day.
Interesting point, hadn't quite thought of it like that before.
But one little counterpoint: I have ADHD and maintaining a consistent daily routine is very difficult. (Somewhat tangential issue but y'know 🤷♀️)
in the beginning of the video i thought men who practice semen retention who be more empathetic to women who are never able to finish with bad partners but it went in the exact opposite direction so-
Not the title changing 😭😭😭
Hearing Ethan say being asexual is epic and cool made my day :)))
I'm gonna start menstrual blood rentention, fuck everything I'm keeping that shit in and I'll finally get that big promotion at work
I found myself laughing out loud several times in this video! I love how genuine your sense of humor comes across and the personality you put in all your videos. Keep it up!
the title change 😭😭
Appreciate the healthy ace representation ❤️🤩
"Women? **scoff** They be shopping."
-Ethan, 2022
"Meat snack" might be the most hilarious misogynistic statement I've ever heard.
Woah! I love milk! Can't wait to see this video about milk worshippers!
These guys are gonna go apeshit when they find out what edging is
Ace recognition, we love that. This is so silly; people really be throwing away everything for nothing.
These guys are unironically Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove?
"Women uh... women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake. But I... I do deny them my essence."
Pee is stored in the balls, and milk is stored in the eyes
i love LOVE seeing ethan laugh it makes me smile :)
every day I think about the guy in that subreddit drawing "sacred geometry"
my favourite part of this video was pressing 0 on my keyboard over and over and hearing you go "hihihihihihhi"
I came into here thinking "oh haha milk likers! :D" and left a new man
Can’t believe I thought this video would literally be about milk
I SAW THE ORIGINAL TITLE WOOH
is the worshiping milk title orignal
@@b1llys1llys1lly_c0m I swear to God it was This Subreddit Worships "C U M"
@@BrandonNop ayo!!
i really enjoy dairy products and drinking milk, boy was i surprised to realize what was actually about
just reading the title, i thought this was about r/NeverBrokeABone lmfao
man I really thought this video was gonna be about r/neverbrokeabone based on the title.
I was. uh. not correct.
i can't believe i was early enough to see the title change
3:43 ayyyyyy thank you Ethan we love ace representation!!
I thought the title said “worships MLK” and I was very confused on when Martin Luther King was gonna come up
i just clicked on the video but i can already tell it’s going to be good
Hell yeah. My dude Ethan charging extra for a full screen ad!
So what I'm getting from this is that if you want to be the ultimate man then you should bottom for other dudes
Yes
REAL MEN look out for their homies and HELP them to GET OFF
Sometimes when I’m sad I imagine mr.Ethan is online with a buzz cut and I giggle to myself
*tw ED*
YES this is exactly what my eating disorder used to be like, turning a necessary and normal human urge into something shameful, and basing my self-worth on how long I could abstain from food.
I… am ashamed that I thought this was gonna be hydrohomies but with milk.
That parallel to eating disorders was at the back of my mind for the whole video, I just didn't know if it was too far fetched, until you said it yourself. But their conversations sound exactly like 2015 Tumblr conversations/posts. On Tumblr (and ed text groups) , there were also always people taking the role of a lowkey cult leader, encouraging everyone and berating people when they did something "wrong".
I don't think I've ever heard a more disconcerting word pairing than "semen retention."
I gotta be honest, I’m an frequent and avid sex enjoyer. That being said, I think no fap is pretty cringe. So is semen retention. Ball pain is big pain. Why don’t they just try having sex?? Lol wtf??
Didn’t Pythagoras also think that beans would impregnate you and literally died when some dudes chased him bc he surrendered himself rather than running through a bean field
